Four workers fired from Google last week are
planning to file a federal labor complaint against
the company, claiming it unfairly retaliated
against them for organizing workers around
social causes.
The former employees said they are preparing
to file unfair labor practice charges with the
National Labor Relations Board this week. All
four were fired Nov. 25 for what Google said
were violations of its data security policy.
Company officials wrote in a memo — without
confirming the employees’ names — that
the four were “searching for, accessing, and
distributing business information outside the
scope of their jobs.”
